Not So Brief Me

If by any chance, you are not satisfied with my brief intro, well… here comes the Not-So-Brief one!

Who am I?

My name is Muhammad Adnan Quaium. According to the culture of Bangladesh, almost every Bangladeshi has his/her own nick name. My nick name is “Tanim”; I am quite familiar with this name among my family and friend circle. Also my friends like to call me “MAQ”, which is a combination of the initials of my full name. Well… My favorite nick is the combination of “MAQ” and “TANIM”, which is “MAQtanim“. Just a handy tip – if you ever want to find me in the world wide web, just google the keyword ‘maqtanim‘ or ‘adnan quaium‘- all the results that Google will return are actually pointed to me!

What do I think of myself?

“Nobody is per­fect in this earth…and I am that Nobody!” … Just jok­ing. Actu­ally I am on the the­ory of “Know Thy­self”… always meet­ing a new of Me… every­day! I don’t know myself com­pletely yet. Con­fused? So am I! But I can assure you one thing, if you ever have an intension of meet­ing an actually aver­age per­son who is nei­ther apa­thetic nor emo­tional… nei­ther bril­liant nor dumb… nei­ther obtru­sive nor quiet… nei­ther so bad nor so good… nei­ther hand­some nor a mirror-cracking mate­r­ial… then I am the per­fect example!

I completed my Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Technical University of Delft, in The Netherlands. I obtained my Bachelor degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Honors from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Islamic University of Technology (IUT). Looking further back, I passed my HSC (Higher-secondary School Certificate) exam from Notre Dame College, with the major in Science under Dhaka Board of Education. I obtained my SSC (Secondary School Certificate) from Ispahani Public School and College in Chittagong, with the major in Science under Chittagong Board of Education.

I was born in Chittagong, the most beautiful city of Bangladesh, probably the most beautiful city in the whole world. I’ve visited a number of cities in different countries, but none of those have a mere chance to stand beside the lovely Chittagong. Though we moved to Dhaka and live there permanently, I still miss Chittagong. So right now, my home location is Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

What about my family?

I am lucky enough to have an wonderful family. My mother, my father, my wife and my sister – is my family, a tiny family but a really amazing family. They are my inspiration. I always think, whatever I would do without them!

What is my future plan?

About my future… well… I can say that I am always trying to live in the present, from where I can dream about the future. But one thing I can definitely say – I could have done good at a lot of other things that I am not doing right now or am not at least supposed to do now.
